Hi all,

It looks like the transition away from 107w might have begun. This satellite is scheduled to be shut down in August.
Both Canadian weather networks have moved to 119w.
If CTV follows suit, this will be the end of Canadian programming for me as I cant see below 113w.

Same here. 113W is my max on my motorized dish due to tree growth (neighbors) since it was installed. It was nice while it lasted!

That’s my zenith bird, it might make setup of another motorized dish a pain….

Hi all,

I was hoping the under utilized 111w would be used to replace 107w.
I get 111w with strong numbers.

I expected this could happen. TWN tested on 119w last year. I receive it well thankfully. Hopefully CTV comes as well. Better than losing it altogether.
